SUBJECT:

UNIVERSITY OF TEXAS AT AUSTIN - EXTENSION TO REVISED SCHEDULE FOR THE COMPLETION OF THE REACTOR ANALYSES RE: RENEWAL OF FACILITY OPERATING LICENSE NO. R-129 FOR THE UNIVERSITY OF TEXAS AT AUSTIN RESEARCH REACTOR (EPID NO. L-2017-RNW-0032)

Dear Dr. Charlton:

The U.S. Nuclear Regulatory Commission (NRC) staff is continuing its review of the University of Texas at Austin (UTA) application for renewal of Facility Operating License No. R-129, for the Nuclear Engineering Teaching Laboratory nuclear research reactor, dated December 12, 2011 (Agencywide Documents Access and Management System (ADAMS) Accession No. ML12156A097), as supplemented by letter dated February 21, 2012 (ADAMS Accession No. ML12061A009). The NRC staff requested a schedule for completion of the reactor analyses, by letter dated October 18, 2018 (ADAMS Accession No. ML18262A182).

By letter dated August 12, 2019 (ADAMS Accession No. ML19234A110), the UTA staff indicated that additional design information was needed from the reactor manufacturer, General Atomics, TRIGA International, and the completion of the reactor analysis would need to be extended until November 30, 2019. The NRC staff acknowledges that the UTA staff has made progress toward the completion of the reactor analyses with the support of the Department of Energy and the November 30, 2019, date is acceptable. If you have any questions, contact me at (301) 415-0893 or by electronic mail at Geoffrey.Wertz@nrc.gov.

Sincerely,

/RA Greg Casto Acting For/
